[PATCH 3/3] spl: fit: Load compressed blob to heap buffer

CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR is usually configured as the address where
the kernel should be loaded at. It can be problematic to use it
as a generic temporary buffer for FIT compressed blobs.

An example is when the image is a compressed kernel with load
address equal to CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR, this causes (inplace)
decompression to fail.

Instead we can simply allocate a temporary buffer in the heap
